It sounds pretty good! QOTSA is one of those bands I've always quite liked, but I never bothered to go beyond their biggest hits. An album release like this however makes me want to go and rummage through their older stuff! Any albums you guys would recommend?

Re: Musical Madness, Perhaps even Sadness.

They go for a different style between each album, this one for example sounds like it's drawing more influence from Homme's time in Eagles of Death Metal. The thing about QOTSA is due to their changing style, it can take long time fans a little time to get into the feel of a new album. By this point I just trust that I'll get into the groove of each album after a few listens, but if you're a fan of a particular style they have it's worth noting you might really like certain albums and hate others.

'...Like Clockwork' is probably my favourite album from them, had to say if it's just because it's the newest though.

Tracks of note (If I'm recommending half the tracks, you may as well just listen to the whole album):
"I Sat by the Ocean"
"My God Is the Sun"
"Fairweather Friends"
"I Appear Missing"
"...Like Clockwork"

Songs For The Deaf - The album that exploded for QOTSA back in the early 2000's, the whole thing is worth a listen.
Tracks of Note:
"You Feel I Ain't Worth A Dollar But I Feel Like A Millionaire"
"First It Giveth"
"The Sky Is Fallin'"
"Hanging Tree"
"God Is On The Radio"
"Mosquito Song"

Rated R - I listened to this album near enough on repeat for a summer in my early 20's, it's great
Tracks of Note:
"Feel Good Hit of the Summer"
"The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret"
"Leg of Lamb"
"Auto Pilot"
"Lightning Song"

Further Listening:

If you listen to that and like the sounds, you could also try Josh Homme's first major band, Kyuss. Them Crooked Vultures and his other project (previously mentioned) Eagles of Death Metal are also good...After all that you can move onto Desert Sessions.
